The Boston Bruins have been getting all the ink in the NHL, but the Maple Leafs are quietly having a big season as well. Their 82 standing points trail the second-best team in the East, Carolina, by just 4 points. The Oilers are one of eight teams in the West that have points in the 70s so there is still a lot to be sorted out. Toronto comes to Edmonton off three-straight wins by a combined score of 13-5. Edmonton has played poorly at 2-6 in their last eight games and their issue is on the back end, same old story. In their 2-6 dive, the Oilers have scored 4+ goals in four of the losses. Edmonton has struggled vs Toronto as well, going 4-13 in their last 17 meetings. That includes a woeful 1-9 in their last 10 as the host. I like Toronto in this one.
